I'm from Orange county NY. Had my sleeve on 8/12. I was on only Clear Liquids since surgery until today. Now I'm on Protein Shakes until further notice. My weigh in the morning of surgery was 292 and I weighed myself this morning and scale hit 278.5. So far so good and no regrets at all on this end. I have my first Dr visit appointment on Tuesday. Will keep you guys posted.

Hey paper1875 I'm in East Patchogue too!! I was sleeved on April 17, down 59lbs. And I still get tired!!! I am feeling an increase in my energy level overall but still find I feel more tired than I think I should at times. I really just started exercising, I had wanted to prior to now but this is when i started.I haven been able to eat everything except ice cream. Probably a blessing though right?? :)

Happimarci you probably aren't getting enough Protein in if you are feeling tired. As for the excercise I was sleeved in mar and didn't start really working out until late june. But now I am addicted to it.

Rockinbella that is a mistake you only make once. Eskimo I am currently in my second stall. The first was 4 weeks post op and it only lasted a little over a week. This one I am in now has been 4 weeks. To say it isn't frustrating I would be lying however I have been losing inches instead of lbs.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
